Why would not I know?
They publish a lot of critical and pro-western stuff. They are basically neutral or at least trying to be as much as possible within the system.
Now what?Why would not I know?

How would I know? Maybe they want to convince you they are neutral by throwing bones. There is no way for me to analyze this.

A ruling by a court in the central Russian town of Ulyanovsk ordering a state-run Internet provider to block access to 15 websites, including those of two prominent national newspapers, has sparked fears of a broader campaign of Internet censorship in the country.
Two of the blocked websites, Gazeta.ru and Komsomolskaya Pravda, are among the top 10 news websites in Russia. The two media outlets said they had not been notified of the court hearings or the verdict — they learned about it from their readers — and therefore were unable to defend themselves.
Looks like West banned all russian news websites.
Someone here said they can't get my link, then some russians in US complained about it, Then I myself checked confirmed from few VPNs.I can happily inform you that both lenta.ru and gazeta.ru are readily accessible in Australia, the USA and Germany. I checked.
It does not. I just checked.basically UK bans it
I cannot find any reports of people in the west having trouble accessing Russian sites. If any did we'd soon read all about it on reddit, twitter, facebook and other sites. The only report of bannings I found was of Russia ordering blocks on pages of 15 Russian websites in Russia.yesterday everything was the same - all countries banned lenta/gazeta
Let's hope so. But according to my check it's banned there.It does not. I just checked.
Well, I report it right now.I cannot find any reports of people in the west having trouble accessing Russian sites.
Seriously?Stop bullshitting us. It will spare you from getting more egg on your face.

And I can't watch CNN anymore.
Slowly moving toward WW3 and then nuclear war.
all because of one girl not happy about lingerie selections in Russia.
If it were due to a ban or block it would affect me too. It doesn't, so it isn't.Let's hope so. But according to my check it's banned there.It does not. I just checked.
At least in VPN I use.
Your word does not qualify. A flurry of reports on reddit, twitter, facebook and other such sites by posters who are not obvious bots would.Well, I report it right now.I cannot find any reports of people in the west having trouble accessing Russian sites.
I leave the dying to you.Seriously?Stop bullshitting us. It will spare you from getting more egg on your face.
You're choosing to die on this hill?
Before JayJay (I think) told me that he had troubles I did not know it was a problem.
Was he bulshiting you too?
Not necessarily. I did not check Australia (it's not listed in VPN)If it were due to a ban or block it would affect me too. It doesn't, so it isn't.

No, I am not dying there. I say it's real but it's DDoS, hence it happens for some and does not happen for others.I leave the dying to you.
Both the English and Russian versions of the sites are still accessible (the main story currently being the alleged disappearance of a Russian Journo named Yegor Belikov) and I've seen zero indication of news outlets being blocked/banned/censored.Not necessarily. I did not check Australia (it's not listed in VPN)
It has english version? where?Both the English and Russian versions
What is wrong with you? I've abandoned "censorship" theory an hour again.So I'm chalking this up as complete horseshit.
Google prompted me if I wanted the english version.It has english version? where?
You were awfully quick to moan international conspiracy right off the bat, though. What can I say? I'm skeptical of the boy who cried Nazi too many times.What is wrong with you? I've abandoned "censorship" theory and hour again.
It's DDoS attack.
Yes, I was, and I apologize for that.You were awfully quick to moan international conspiracy right off the bat
That's not what "english version" normally means.Google prompted me if I wanted the english version
